This seems like a bizarre limitation, so I hope I'm just missing something obvious.

There is an option to create a linked text box on the next page. But how do I create one on the SAME page? I have text that needs to span multiple boxes on one page, and there appears to be no way to do this.

In this particular case, I could also do it with a multi-column text box, but there appears to be no way of doing that either. Help?
